With the next FIFA Agent Exam less than a month away, I thought that it would be beneficial to give my opinions on representing a player vs representing a coach/manager in football. Acquiring the FIFA Agent License allows an agent to represent both of these clientele, with many agents being successful in managing one or the other, or some cases, both!

You don’t have to manage both if you don’t want to; For example I’ve only ever worked with players, even though I’ve had a few coaches/managers approach me for representation and I’m in early discussions with one or two (maybe more on that later this summer 👀).

Either way, I think it's important to know some of the main differences when it comes to representing these two very different profiles, especially with regards to employment contracts and movement from club to club.

So now, without further ado, let's get stuck in!
